| [ Summary ] | We reviewed the epidemiology of IPMN. However, there are few epidemiologic studies on IPMN as a risk factor for this disease. Therefore, we reviewed the information concerning age, gender, morbidity, comparisons between non-invasive IPMN and invasive IPMN, as well as comparisons between IPMN and MCN and extrapancreatic neoplasms in patients with IPMN in reference to the latest papers available. | |
